Hello Alistair great catch u got there , I bloody missed leander tonight 5 mins early augh ah well nevermind always next week right ! BTW i saw that arsehole again tonight at bamber bridge station the dick whos walks out infont of ya ! augh i hate that prick
I travelled on The Fellsman last year with 5690 where she only had 9 bogies. Today she had 11 bogies plus the ~125 tonne diesel! Crossing over the WCML at fairly slow speed and then immediately faced with the climb would have tested her - especially as she only passed her steam test on Saturday and was quickly prepared for her proving run last night - she's had quite a bit of work carried out over the spring. The support crew are to be congratulated for getting her ready at such short notice.
Very good Alistair, You'll soon have another milestone with 200 vids uploaded. The location of 'Flag Lane' must be the bridge you are on, as I know the area only by the 2 junctions nearby.
Great news mate guess whats coming this saturday the diesal I been waiting for since last year !!!

@tonydavin Its a credit to Cranforth and the support crew, in all fairness it is a steep climb on a sharp curve.
